Have De Lata, Will Cook: Canned Food, Elevated (Featuring Sardines 3)

 



It was a cloudy Tuesday afternoon. 

I just finished tackling bookkeeping after two hours. 



I was tired. Hungry. Possibly on the verge of being hangry. 

I wanted to eat fast, but didn’t want to order in. 

But I also didn’t want to slave over the stove for 30 minutes. 

Enter my leftover sardines from the start of this series to my rescue. 



I got some bread and the sardines. But then I saw the omelette I cooked last Sunday night (featured in this series, too!) and thought more protein is better. 

So, I got that and sliced it in the middle. 

Two sandwiches - one for me, one for my son. 

🐟 Sardine Meal 3: Sardine and Omelette Sandwiches

Open your sandwich press. 

Place 2 slices of bread. 

Get some sardines. Be sure you drain it as much as you can, but keep the sauce. Don’t throw that away. That’s flavor. 

Spread that over the bread. 

Top each with a slice of the leftover omelette. Cover with another slice of bread then close the press. 

If you dont have a sandwich press, you can check out this post on how to make this with a simple pan. 

Wait for your desired doneness. 

I served this with a small glass of iced tea and artisan potato chips. 

I got back to our room, got cozy, took a bite of my sandwich, tucked into my man and pressed play on a series I’ve been meaning to watch for months. 

Now that hit the spot. 

You don’t think I forgot about that leftover sauce that I made you save, did you? Keep reading to find out what we’re gonna use that for.
